Lions Turkey Shoot To Fund Eye Care

The Leesburg Lions Club, after its annual Turkey Shoot last year, bought a $500 Braille computer for Lee Adult High School, Leesburg.

Principal Ned Richardson says the computer is used in classes and in home visits made by Braille tutors to spread literacy among the blind.

The beneficiaries of this weekend's shoot will be needy residents who require eye care, club secretary Fred Bartlett said.

The shoot -- which is at targets, not real turkeys -- is today from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The location is off U.S. Highway 27, south of Leesburg and directly across from the RV Gallery.
